A bunch of parsley or cilantro wrapped in a produce bag usually goes limp within a few days, long before you’ve used half of it. Herbs need airflow and just enough humidity, and a sealed bag or a glass of water on the counter doesn’t really deliver either one.
The OXO Good Grips GreenSaver Herb Keeper is built around that exact mismatch. It’s a 1.8-quart container made from polypropylene, with a hinged inner basket that opens wide from the center so you’re not shoving stems in through a narrow gap. Filling a shallow reservoir in the base with water keeps the stems hydrated, similar to how a florist treats cut flowers, while the surrounding basket keeps the leaves themselves up out of the water and exposed to circulating air.
The lid is designed to hold humidity somewhere between bone dry and soggy, and the container is narrow enough to stand up in most fridge doors or sit flat on a shelf. It’s rated for sage, rosemary, thyme, mint, basil, parsley, and cilantro, and it’s fully dishwasher safe between batches. Worth a look if the fridge drawer keeps eating your herb budget before you get through half of what you bought.
